Glasgow 2014: NI netballers beat Wales to secure seventh spot

Northern Ireland's netballers ended their Commonwealth Games campaign on a high as they secured seventh place thanks to a 58-36 win over Wales.

Lisa Somerville produced a remarkable display for Northern Ireland as she scored 46 of her 53 shots.

It was an impressive display by a Northern Ireland team against a team higher in the world rankings.

Northern Ireland went into the Games targeting a top-eight finish so they will be pleased with their efforts.

Noleen Lennon, Gemma Gibney, Caroline O'Hanlon, Fiona Toner and Hannah Irvine also excelled for the Northern Irish who will look forward to hosting the European Open Invitational event in Belfast next May.

Northern Ireland recovered after losing their first three games to tough opposition in the shape of Malawi, Jamaica and New Zealand but finished with group victories over St Lucia and the two home countries.
